Identity theft is happening more and more. In order to straighten things out for last year, you must contact the Social Security Office in person and bring identifying documents with you so they can start their investigation into the theft. My personal experience with this is that you will receive your refund due. From then on (starting with this year), you will receive a special PIN to put on your return. That way no one else can file in your name. You will receive a new PIN each year. Hope this helps. It's a slow process, but you HAVE to go through the process.
